what carries urine from the kidneys to the bladder

ureter

the renal ____ is the outer region of the kidney

cortex

these vessels carry blood into the glomerulus

afferent arterioles

the fundamental function unit of the kidney is the

nephron

glomerular filtrate is most similar in composition to

blood

when substances move from the tubule into the blood stream, this is known as

reabsorption

if bp increases beyond normal range, what happens to glomerular filtration rate

in increases

what controls the selectivity of the kidney filter

the size of the holes in the filter

which of the following is usually completely reabsorbed in the proximal tubule

glucose

the descending nephron loop is permeable to _____ whereas the ascending is permeable to

water, ions

if bp drops dramatically, what happens to urine output

it decreases

which hormone increases urine output

anp

the series of pleats found in the bladder to enhance stretching are called

rugae

the collecting ducts are found in this part of the kidney

renal pyramid

this tube leads from the urinary bladder to the outside

urethra

the renal hormone secreted by the hypothalamus when b p decreases to promote the reabsorption of water

antidiuretic hormone

if pt experiences severe dehydration, what would you expect to happen to urine volume

it would decrease

the renal capsule covers the

kidney

which of the following will not pass through the glomerular epithelium into the nephron

all of the above

glucose is ____ in glomerular filtrate than in urine

at a higher concentration

the urinary bladder walls are composed of what type of muscle

smooth

urea is _____ in plasma than in urine

at a lower concentration

besides water, which of the following substances is usually found in urine at the bladder level

ammonia

where are the kidneys located

upper abdomen

which of these urinary organs transports urine form kidneys to the bladder

ureter

urea and creatine are _____ in urine than in glomerular filtrate

at a higher concentration

sodium is _____ in plasma than in urine

at a higher concentrate

in which layer of the kidney is the blood filtered

cortex

which of the following structures is located in the renal medulla

pyramids

normally how can humans consciously control the expulsion of urine from the body

conscious control over the urethral spincters

which of the following is the correct order in which blood arrives at the glomerulus

renal artery, segmental, lobar, interlobar, arcuate, cortical radiate, afferent arteriole

what happens at the bowmans capsule

filtration

angiotensinogen is secreted by the

liver

which of the following is secreted at the nephron

ammonia and hydrogen ions

glomerular filtrate flows from the renal corpuscle into the

proximal convuluted tubules

which of the following is either completely or partially reabsorbed respectively at the nephron

glucose and water

atrial natriuretic hormone is released by the atria when blood volume

increases

when systemic blood pressure has decreased, what protective measures does the kidney take

vasoconstrict

the pt complains of shortness of breath and is expectorating pink frothy sputum, the nurse would assess for further signs and symptoms of

fluid overload

when teaching a pt about ways to avoid fluid overload, the nurse explains it is best to eat a diet that is low in

sodium
